How would that work for sites like Hacker news, reddit, and twitter? Does every single user have to preview and approve every single other user on the website? That doesn't scale at all.
- z3t4 8y agoIt would work the same, except you can sign up with one click, login with one click, and the server wouldn't store any password/key. But it also allows for additional functionality, for example in a photo sharing app/site you could tell it that only those with these ID's should be able to see the picture, without the site/app needing to know who those people are, they don't even need to have an account on that site.
